Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken, refried beans, shredded Mexican blend cheese, taco seasoning, salsa, and sour cream. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated and creamy.
- Lay out a burrito-sized flour tortilla on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the filling mixture into the center, fold the sides inward, and roll tightly.
- Pour oil into a deep skillet to a depth of about 1 inch, then heat over medium heat until the oil reaches around 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully add the assembled chimichangas to the hot oil. Fry each chimichanga for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
- Once golden brown, remove the chimichangas from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve hot, garnishing with fresh toppings like guacamole, pico de gallo, or a dollop of sour cream.

Notes
To avoid spillage, tightly roll the chimichangas and tuck in the ends. You can also bake them at 400°F (200°C) for a healthier alternative.
